All-New, All-Astounding Avengers #155 – ‘Old and Decided’
All-New, All-Astounding Avengers #154 – ‘Is Your Heart Palpitating Yet?’
If you’re a longtime reader of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, and you’re getting suspicious that I’m trying to pull together nearly every long-dangling plot thread that I can think of into this next arc of the story… Well, I’m going to do my best! My notebook of ideas keeps getting more…
All-New, All-Astounding Avengers #153 – ‘Heart is the Mind of the Matter’
I don’t think I’ve ever changed the prefix of the title mid-storyarc before, but we’ve long since lost the thread of Justin Hammer’s attempt to stripmine Jocasta’s brain for his own LLM software product, so I thought it was time to accept that the story’s gone off in its own direction. Sometimes stories do that,…
All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers #152 – ‘Calling In More Than We Can’
Well, after a couple months, Agent Wurmser finally rears his head again, out for some fresh revenge! If he didn’t hate the Avengers so much, he’d be a great asset to the team (thematically speaking, anyway). And… HYDRA! We haven’t seen a HYDRA agent since the start of the year! It’s almost like… things are…
All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers #151 – ‘Future Cluttering Its Waters’
It took just about seventeen months, but Kate Neville’s finally getting her own super-powered day in the sun (or whatever it is that produces the light over the Negative Zone)! I can’t say that I had this exact stop along the way of her ultimate story planned out from the first time we met her…
All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers #150 – ‘We Cast Our Lines Into an Ocean’
My goodness – we’ve arrived at one hundred and fifty (150!) installments of the “main” story here of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Back in #100 (July 2023), Domino and War Machine were amicably breaking up, and Tony Stark was just beginning his (short-lived) relationship with Jocasta. Remember any of those moments?…
All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers #149 – ‘Exactly Where I Most Belong’
We’re finally entering the phase of the Kirby/Stryker showdown where the ideological lines are being drawn, where the two candidates start differentiating themselves in more meaningful ways than “doesn’t much care for mutants” (Kirby) and “actively wants to exterminate mutants” (Stryker). I know whose side I’m on, if these are the only two choices. I…
All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers #148 – ‘Everyone Else Continues to Stand’
Thanks to my post-vacation sickness, we took a detour from the main story in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe last week to the nonspecific parallel Earth where Jimmy Woo is the Spectacular Spider-Protector! I hope you enjoyed reading it; I sure enjoyed putting it together (long before I got ill, anyway)! Now,…
The Spectacular Spider-Protector #1 – ‘Venomous Vengeance!”
My take on Jimmy-Woo-as-Spider-Man, I first introduced in March of 2023 (and he’s come back a couple times, since), but my original idea dates back to whenever I found out there was going to be a Jimmy Woo action figure. I’m a big fan of Randall Park, as I’ve mentioned before; beyond that apparently immortal…
